An Epistolary Blog

Before I get to your Friday tip, a note of thanks. Our Kickstarter campaign is now fully funded, actually overfunded, and we still have more than 2 weeks to go. This is fantastic! You all are amazing! Scratch keeps adding new incentives for new goals, so it’s not too late to join in the fun.

And now for your tip:

Don’t forget to eat.

I know this sounds really simple, but a lot of performers don’t like to eat before a show. And it’s easy to get distracted with all your pre-show preparations. However, it’s no fun to have your blood sugar crash when you’re on stage. Have a light meal a couple of hours before the show and keep some healthy snacks backstage — something you can just pop in your mouth with little fuss. I like baby carrots and grape tomatoes with hummus. Scratch is partial to nuts. He’d have to be in this industry. *rimshot*
